Traces of oil in SuperRam Plenum

Im tearing my SuperRam down to fix a fuel leak. When I got the lid off I see what I believe is a little bit of oil spread on areas on the bottom and on the walls of the drivers side plenum near the runner holes. What could this be coming from?

Probably the PCV or breather tube would be my guess. Its not likely that it came up from the intake base or anywhere like that.

this normally comes from pcv or breather, but more common just the pcv valve.

It is the breather my 97 formula w/lt1 does the same thing. The breather is hooked to the throttle body and the pvc is halfway down the manafold. when I pulled of the manafold the last time after 300 miles you could see oil coming out of the breather hole at the back of the tb
